I have a copy of SQL Server Developer edition running on a developer VM within OSX. Within that running VM, I cannot access SQL Server via Sql Server Management Studio, I can however access it when I boot directly into it - it's a BootCamp image I use for both BC and Parallels.
I've tried connecting via IP from SSMS, but no joy as the SQL Server process won't start when hosted in a VM.
Can anyone help? Could the host be blocking the SQL port, if so how would I unblock this?
Thanks
